Downtown Grass Valley has once again come to life on Thursday nights. After a one year experiment where the focus was more on a farmer’s market atmosphere, Downtown Association Executive Director Julia Jordan tells KNCO that a decision was made to return to a street fair model.

Jordan says that there are 12 other farmer’s markets in the area, and the Downtown Association realizes that’s just a piece of Thursday Night Market and not the primary draw. Halli Ellis with local non-profit NEO, which focuses on positive activities for teens, says being part of Thursday Night Market again is great.
